Abstract

The article analyzes the current trends in teaching foreign languages for professional purposes at universities, which have become especially widespread in recent years, when Ukraine made the final decision to move along the path of the European integration. The newest effective technologies for the formation of professional competence at classes of foreign language for professional purposes have been characterized; the importance of knowledge of a foreign language in the context of globalization and internationalization of economic relations was noted and the need for high-quality knowledge of a foreign language has been substantiated, which becomes not only a means of obtaining information from primary sources, but also, in the future, a means of establishing business ties with foreign partners. The role of new information technologies and resources in the process of teaching a foreign language, which are becoming increasingly popular, has been emphasized: video conferences, case studies, psychodrama, TED video talks, round tables, brainstorming, podcasting, debates, business games, trainings, etc. etc. Multimedia, interactivity and the use of Internet technologies, messengers, tools and platforms for video communication have been stated as the main approaches to teaching foreign languages for professional purposes at universities in modern conditions; the importance of online communication, which is becoming increasingly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic has been emphasized. The article describes the possibilities of using the Internet, software, special computer programs, electronic dictionaries, translators, test shells and other multimedia technologies at classes of foreign language for professional purposes in order to search for additional material, prepare educational assignments, check individual assignments, etc.
The deductive principle has been characterized as a new strategy for studying foreign languages for professional purposes at higher education institutions, according to which didactic dynamics proceeds from the general to the partial, and, as a result, a student-centric approach is implemented. The systemic communication method has been outlined the basis for the development and development of a mobile communication activity at the professional level.
